Scabies mites cannot live long outside their human host, typically surviving only 48 to 72 hours without contact with skin. They do not infest wood or plastic, as these surfaces do not provide the warmth and moisture needed for the mites to thrive. However, they may linger on clothing or bedding for a short period, which can lead to transmission if these items come into contact with skin. Therefore, while scabies cannot inhabit wood or plastic, it’s important to wash and clean items that may have come into contact with an infested person.
